India’s second full service airline, Vistara, announced it’ll be opening a new route to the middle east. The Tata Singapore Airlines joint venture airline will be linking the cities of Mumbai and Muscat.
About The New Vistara Mumbai to Muscat Flight
Flight number UK233 (UK234 on the return sector) will be a daily connection between Mumbai and Muscat. As for the schedule of the flight:
- Flight UK233 will take off from Mumbai at 20:00 (8PM) every day and land into Muscat at 21:35
- The return sector UK234 will take off from Muscat at 22:55 and land at 3:10 AM into Mumbai
The flight is designed to serve the large Indian expat community in the gulf country such as Oman. The new Mumbai Muscat Vistar flight is set to start operating December 12th 2022.
The Aircraft For Flight UK233
The Indian airline has opted to deploy on this new sector one of its latest generation Airbus A320neo. In particular the airline will fly the 3 class layout A320neo on this new flight to the capital of Oman.
This configuration features:
- 8 Business Class Seats
- 24 Premium Economy Seats
- 132 Economy Class Seats
Vistara will be the only airline to offer Premium Economy class on this sector.
Strengthening Its Position in The Middle East
This will be the fourth destination the new Indian airline will serve in the Arabian peninsula. Vistara already operates flights to:
- Dubai (UAE)
- Abu Dhabi (UAE)
- Jeddah (Saudi Arabia)
It’ll be interesting to see how this young airline will progress in the coming weeks and moving into 2023. Air India and Vistara’s mother company Tata is considering merging the two airlines into one. So, if the merger actually does become reality we might not see the Vistara brand for much longer as Air India will incorporate the younger carrier.
